On this episode , Ntokozo Nkosi who is the Deputy Director Services to Older Persons at the  Department of Social Development in KwaZulu Natal, shares insights on The Current Status on Elderly Abuse as we head to World Alzheimer's Day on 21 September 2024 .

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 focuses on the Emotional Effects of Abuse on the Elderly. 

Alzheimer's in the Elderly
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia and usually affects people over the age of 65. Because of their memory impairment and inability to communicate, patients with Alzheimer's are especially vulnerable to abuse. Aggressors may also target these patients because they are more easily confused, and so may not even realize that they are being ridiculed or abused.

Remember in South Africa, elder abuse is a crime.
